High density polyethylene grade range INEOS Olefins & Polymers Europe operates leading and proprietary slurry and gas production technologies TM TM (INNOVENE S and INNOVENE G) associated with a range of catalyst systems to produce grades tailored for a wide range of end use applications. Medium molecular weight homopolymer grades with high rigidity for the packaging of liquid food and non-aggressive liquids and creams. Medium molecular weight copolymer grades with various levels of environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR) to meet requirements of industrial and household applications. High molecular weight copolymer grades with optimised impact and environmental stress cracking resistance for the production of larger tanks and containers for chemicals. Narrow molecular weight distribution grades with medium to high melt indexes for industrial and food packaging applications requiring good impact, stiffness and environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR). Broader molecular weight distribution grades with low to medium melt indexes for a wide range of packaging applications requiring high environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR).
